I’d really like to see more ties back to the original show, but that might be Basilisk II ’s monkey’s paw.

Fun fact! The voice of Geiin is also the voice of Brook from One Piece !.

Their were also a lot of animation shortcuts used in the talk between Hachirou and Hibiki, like n ot showing their mouths moving and the camera focusing on their eyes.

If Basilisk II wants to maintain viewers, the “info-dump truck” needs to drive away. Based on what I saw in the Crunchyroll comment section, viewers who haven’t seen Basilisk are getting confused. The info-dump is still happening and the animation quality has gone down. The episode ends with a cliffhanger of one Kouga fighters being killed by an unknown assailant. It’s hinted that Hachirou is leaving due to the sheer power of Hibiki he saw during their training. Hachirou decides to leave the village without Hibiki, disappointing her.

Those are some pretty cool powers, but I wish the animation was at a higher level to actually showcase them. He can also see his enemies in the dark with a firefly like glow. Geiin has the powers of a spider, trapping his enemies in a web dome. I honestly expected a drop off in animation to some degree but not to this low level so quickly. The fight uses lots of still images and takes place in pure darkness. Sadly, the animation quality went down in this episode, especially during the fight between the Kouga fighters and the laborers sent to kill Tadanga. There is a throwaway line that the spymaster of the Shōgun allowed Genosuku and Oboro to meet to continue the Ninja bloodline.

Genosuku and Oboro don’t see each other until they fight each other in the final episode of Basilisk. The birth of Hachirou and Hibiki doesn’t seem possible though. Hachirou and Hibiki are the son and daughter of Gennosuke Kouga and Oboro Iga, the main characters from the original Basilisk. The Iga and Kouga are promised that which ever clan wins will have prosperity for a millenium. It’s revealed the Iga and Kouga fight against each other to determine the next Shōgun. Just like the first episode of Basilisk II, episode 2 continues the info-dump.
